Shaving cream and toothpaste dispenser



l N frame@ Jule UNI-TED su l relates to `dispensers lfor `toothc i `theprimary object the provision of a simple and H vinexpensivexdevice of this character which will `afford aflxed sanitary support for agcollapsible container to prevent misplacementof the latter and `which may be easily andiquickly actuated discharge therefrom a desired amount of itscon- `tents and `automatically close@ the container when manually released to prevent evaporation matter. i

vention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement "of claimed.

*Figurei4 is afragmentary sectional viewillusg trating the follower for squeezing and` `thereby dischargingthe contents of thecollapsible `coni `I-'teIerring Iin `detail tothedrawng, thejnu` `modate acollapsible container 2 in aninverted c container to extendytherethrough. A suitable cushlonlis, arranged between the seat*` and The casing Ilincludes sections 6 and 'I,` the Hsecf lwhich may be readilyopened andclosed for in- `section 'I is held in a closed position by a suitable adapted" containerZ. A rod IIis pivoted to thearm 9 and f extends through the casing I and has connected therewithv a coil 'spring i2 acting tourge the arm in aposition for closing the discharge" neck loi the container. A feed shaftIS is journaled "in the casingI and extends through-the top wall of said casing and `has journaled and slidably mounted thereon a sleeve I4to which is secured a finger piece I5 overlying the upper end ofthe .rod il. The spring I2 acts to bringtherod II top of the casing and the finger piece" `IIV and acts to urge the-sleeve upwardly. vThe sleeve clutch element I1 which also acts as a stop for limitingtheupward" movement of the sleeve underthe influence of the' spring ISfby contacting connection betweenthe nger piece and the feed shaft.` .The clutch element I1 is brought in en-` `enters the casing `and has formed thereon a ing the nng'er piece I5 and the depressing ofl the` wfinger piece |59 slides` the rod I I` downwardly, fswingingthe arm 9 on" its pivot and thereby disengaginglthe cup fromthe dischargeneck of theV container. `As soon as manual `pressure is re` leased from@ the `finger piece `l5` the springs `I2 and I6 restore therodand finger piecetotheir ment with the discharge neck of the container. j Afolloweror squeezing means 2li is adapted to and consists of an arcuately curved yoke 42i having `its ends slidably flttedin `guide grooves 22 formed in the casing I. The yokeZI hasintegral `therewith afeed nut `23ol which "meshes with the feedthreads on the feed shaft I3. c `A bar24 is rollers 26 are journaled' on the bars `124 and 25 and are arranged to receive therebetween the i. initial position which brings the `cupinto` engage- `35 the container 2 at the non-discharge end thereof container 2. `Guide pins 21 are arranged between l the bars 24 and 25 andby`adjustingtheobar 25 relative tothe bar 24 thegpressure of the sleeves on the container may beincreased and decreased,

as desired. This adjustment can be madewby opening the door 'I of the casing.` i By rotating the feed shaft I3 by the finger` piece `IIothe squeezingzmeans 20 may be advanced downthe topof the` casing. A clutch "elementr I8 isjfou 1 u `secured tothefeed `shaft for cooperation with `the clutch element II in establishing` a driving f 'e s is i iai Eig "said container as desired. Before the squeezineans can be actuated the finger piece i8 ust be depressed which disengages the cup from Ldischarge neck of the' container. Therefore, y be seen that before pressure is applied to ntainer by the squeezing means said conits to thercontainer. a rod pivoted tosaid through said casing, a feed iournaled in said casing and extending'ex'- thereof, s sleeve siidabiyand rotatably ted on said feed shaft, a finger piece secured sleeve and engaged by said rod, spring acting on said sleeve, spring means actingd rod, means Aconnecting the squeezing means to the feed shaft,` and a clutch between the feed shaft and said sleeve and engaged by endwise movement of the sleeve on the feed shaft.
